Wasicka in the House
One of the players who just registered and took a seat at Table 15 is a name that will be familiar to anyone who has paid attention to televised poker over the past decade: Paul Wasicka, former World Series of Poker Main Event runner-up. Wasicka was a little-known player coming up in the poker world with a few nice cashes when he entered the 2006 Main Event. There, he nearly made poker history by winning the biggest Main Event ever, finishing second to Jamie Gold for just over $6.1 million.
Wasicka continued to experience success on the felt, as he followed that up the next year with a $455,615 score for fourth in the LAPC and then a win in the National Heads-Up Championship for another $500,000. Wasicka also claimed a ring in a circuit main event for $139,422 in 2010. Since that year, his tournament cashes have come exclusively at the WSOP, with the last score coming in the Main Event last year for $24480.
The Denver resident evidently decided to dust off the poker chops and take a run at the Mid-States Poker Tour, and he's off to a good start after betting all three streets with 
on a 
run out and getting paid off.
